In the birthplace of bluegrass and old time country music, musicians gather to participate in Irish sessions where the pure drop of traditional Celtic music still holds sway. Here, fiddles, mandolins and button accordions effortless transition through tune sets and songs that are part of the extensive Celtic canon. Barrowburn was formed to carry on this tradition. Mist Covered Mountains represents where the music has led us over our first dozen years.For more information about Barrowburn, visit our web site at www.barrowburn.net
